Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colon cancer surveillance guidelines for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) suggest annual colonoscopy once the diagnosis of concomitant disease is made, but there is little evidence to support this recommendation. We conducted a retrospective review of patients with colonic neoplasms (colon cancer or dysplasia) to test this guideline's validity and determined when colonic neoplasms occurred in the population. |
